 I don't know about you but here in the Northeast we've been spoiled this year with nice Spring weather.  Haven't had a wet day in a long time so when it hit Saturday and Sunday we needed it badly.  Lots of parents with kids who play sports on Sundays were frozen fans in the rain!  It took a long time for my fingers to get back to their non-blue color! Regardless of the weather,  I would not have traded it for anything!  The effort was beautiful even if the weather was not!

Welcome to my Blog!

Thanks for visiting my blog ... I decided to write it as there were many concerned friends and family that needed to learn about this phase of my life - leading up to surgery on February 8th. I have now had the surgery and am recovering here at home. I love all your comments! They make me smile and I am so truly inspired by them! I can not believe how much support there is out there...it matters so much to us! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
